Liftex 2013: A Great Success

Liftex is always a fantastic opportunity to meet and socialise with many of our clients. It was great to see everyone and to have a chat over a cup of tea and a slice of homemade lemon drizzle cake, which to our pleasant surprise we learnt had gained its own fan following!

This year we made a big point of making our stand an inviting, homely place for people to stop by, rest their legs and have a chat. And our comfy armchairs proved very popular amongst the tired-out lift engineers.

The decision was taken to invest in a lot more space: in fact our stand was double the size this time around. So we were able to see more people and spend quality time rather than simply ‘exhibit’. It definitely boosted our networking opportunities and it was certainly the most successful of the Liftex shows we’ve done over the years.

We met lots of new and prospective clients too from all areas of the industry with whom the Robert Gerrard Lift Plan® went down really well, and we were lucky enough to have lift sector expert Stan Blach working the stand with us whose wealth of industry knowledge and reputation proved very popular.

The official statistics published on the Liftex website show that visitor numbers were up 22%. I think we’d agree. Our statistics improved too: we met with 40 of our existing clients, and took enquiries from 40 prospects.

We are already looking forward to the next show, and planning our cake selection too!

The UK Lift Industry Charity came about after a group of like-minded people felt there should be something in place to provide help to industry colleagues when faced with challenging times. Over the past ten years then it has made a raft of donations to individuals and families of individuals who have been injured or who have lost their lives during the course of their work within the lift industry. In support of the charity, Robert Gerrard has put together a mud-loving team of raring-to-go runners who are all prepped and ready to take on the major challenge of the ‘Meangate’ Mud Run on Saturday 11 March 2017.
